FoodPrints 5y agoThis sounds really nice. Any ideas on how to do this without an ice cream maker?
ChefHoss 7y agoVery nice and refreshing dessert item. Super simple to make, very light, and it hits the spot on a warm afternoon/evening!
stevemur 8y agoMakes for a tasty, refreshingly light finish to a meal. One guest who enjoyed it said "This rocks. It's the definition of cool and refreshing". All four of us enjoyed it tonight; the finish to a rather spicy Thai meal. One modification -- inspired by a recent Alton Brown episode on "melons" which featured watermelon sorbet, I added 1 tablespoon of vodka to the pureed watermelon before adding the cooled syrup. (The vodka was Grey Goose Lemon-infused Vodka.) This helped keep ice crystals from forming and the result was a smoother consistency.

this is sad, trucking companies are constantly trying to cut wages. operating costs are up in part due to the epa. maybe they should shoulder some of the cost they are creating. Burning more fuel, more down time does not equal a cleaner enviroment. seems they are going back wards. every time i get on a highway I see a truck belching blue smoke cause of a dpf burn. Really?

Elle Fanning in a TOPSHOP Moto Zip Front Denim Skirt
Elle Fanning was spotted out and about in Toluca Lake, California. The actress kept it easy with the TOPSHOP Moto Zip Front Denim Skirt and a Rodarte tank. She kept the casual vibe going by pairing them with a pair of court sneakers.
There is a '70s attitude that I get from this look here. It looks as though Elle just stepped out of the Daze and Confused set, but yet it still feels modern in a way. It is definitely a look that I can see girls start picking up for themselves. How many of you will adopt this kind of look? You can click here to purchase this skirt from TOPSHOP for $60 and for the Rodarte tank from SHOPBOP.
Demi Lovato in TOPSHOP Leigh Jeans in Black Ripped
Demi Lovato was spotted on her way out of her hotel in New York. The singer wore the TOPSHOP Leigh Jeans in Black Ripped with a bomber jacket and some ankle boots. To finish her look off, she chose the CELINE tote.
I like that Demi chopped the hem off her pair. I have always been a fan of that little bit of ankle showing when cropped jeans are paired with ankle boots. It's a great personal touch that I don't think we see often. How many of you also like the idea of a more cropped jean with ankle boots? You can click here to purchase these jeans from TOPSHOP for $70.
Khloe Kardashian in TOPSHOP Jamie Jeans in Ripped Mid-Blue
Khloe Kardashian was spotted arriving to a studio in Los Angeles, California. The reality star wore a pair of TOPSHOP Jamie Jeans in Ripped Mid-Blue with a black tank and some Louboutins. She finished her look off with a nude Givenchy bag.
I really like the fit of these jeans on Khloe as they look as though they were custom tailored to her body. It has me interested in seeing what other TOPSHOP styles that we will be seeing Khloe in. I can definitely see her wearing the distressed white and black pairs that we have been seeing on Kylie. You can click here to purchase these jeans from TOPSHOP for $75.
Selena Gomez in Topshop Moto Jeans
Selena Gomez was snapped while making her way through the airport, right as she tweeted how airports give her anxiety. Hopefully she was able to have an enjoyable flight!
For her trip, Selena wore a pair of Topshop moto jeans with a long orange jacket and a pair of animal print shoes. I really love the color combination in this outfit. I think the orange really pops against the medium gray wash of the jeans and they look great together. You can buy Topshop jeans on their website here.

General Message Board
Has the FIA Verdict ruined F1's credibility?
Frankly, yes.
McLaren knowingly received stolen Ferrari Intellectual Property. And when I say 'McLaren', Coughlan also represents McLaren, he is not just an 'employee' as Mclaren keep stating - he was Chief Designer and not the tea-lady.
Whether they used this info or not is irrelevant. This is a serious violation, this is plain CHEATING, unsporting behaviour, un-British and they should have been kicked out of 2007. The RAC should have kicked them out!
McLaren then stated that although they had this stolen information they did not use it. What a load of #$%$, its like saying that its OK to nick somebody's diamond ring as long as you don't wear it.
Despite all the denials by McLaren that they were not aware what Coughlan was up to, and that they definitely did not use this information, we now learn for a FACT that not only did they all know about this, but they used and discussed its content and detail - confirmed in hundreds of text messages, emails and phone calls.
And nothwithstanding all this, the FIA dont touch the drivers?! Are they scared of ruining F1 2007, don't they realise that no matter what it is already ruined. At least let us walk away with some sort of credibility.
Of course this championship is tainted, what planet is Lewis living on. He can bury his head in the sand all he likes, however bottom-line, his team cheated and he forms part of this team. His team used Ferrari information in their simulator and as a benchamark, and he is part of this team. His team used Ferrari weight-positioing information, and he is part of this team. His team planned the Australian GP knowing that Raikonnen would refuel on the 18th lap, and he is part of this team. Hamilton's team cheated and had an unfair advantage on Ferrari.
He can say that this championship is not tainted until the cows come home, but bottom-line is the whole world knows what happened.
This has not only disgarced McLaren, but British sport in general. And instead of making bloody excuses we should come clean, call a spade a spade, and put this behind us. Hamilton's attitude does not help. He is undoubtedly an INCREDIBLE driver, a true champion, even if 2007 is/was screwed up. And more than anybody else, he should 'champion' the campaign at giving F1 back the credibility that it has lost.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

I have a simple question
Why is one team guilty of receiving secrets and another team innocent of passing them? They both involved individuals acting without the knowledge of their teams (or so we are led to believe). Surely it takes two parties in a transfer of information.
I really hope that this isn't the beginning of a dirty off track World Championship
FIA ???? should be called FAD - Ferrari Admin Department.
- 1 Reply to Merlin
merlin,you must hate the red cars very much...but still if we reverse the situation...ferrari leading the championship,found guilty of the crime stripped off of championship and fined a handsome amount of $100million you'd still be furious at ferrari...so,i was thinking if thats the situation,where the heck would they place themselves?they were the one stolen of the confidential stuff,the rest of the teams were cheated and fooled yet your still furiously mad at them...this is crazy!!
IronMaiden_RuLeZ IronMaiden_RuLeZ Sep 19, 2007 21:46 Flag
Nice post mate.
I doubt Hamilton & Ron Dennis wasnt aware of the Ferrari dossier and i doubt that Ferrari data was used from Coughlan, De La Rossa and Alonso only. While Coughlan was found in possesion of the dossier to me it seems that only De La Rossa and Alonso had the balls to come forward and confess, and just because the rest of Mclaren(in particular Ron Dennis & Hamilton) still maintain that they knew nothing and they have not used Ferrari Intellectual Property, it doesnt mean its true.
In my opinion, both drivers & constructors championships are tainted. Yes, it was Mclaren`s fault, but still no matter what Ferrari says, they know this year's constructors title is tainted.
Since the FIA verdict, i`ve changed my mind many times now as to what would have been the ideal punishment for Mclaren in the best interest of the sport. And the latest personal opinion is that:
FIA should have squared the points between Mclaren and Ferrari in both Drives and Constructors championship and still fine Mclaren 100$ million.
This way, we would have had a 4 race grand finale between Ferrari and Mclaren in Constructors and 4 drivers fighting for the Drivers title starting with the same amount of points with 4 races to go.

Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop (edition 2010)
by Otto Penzler
Work details
Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop by Otto Penzler
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'm a big fan of Otto Penzler's mystery story compendiums and am particularly fond of his Christmas collections. I picked this one up on my trip to New York. This collection of short stories is inspired by the Christmas holiday and all stories (be they funny, creepy, clever et al) are set (at least in part) in the Mysterious Bookshop. It features stories by Mary Higgins Clark, Lawrence Block, Ed McBain, Donald Westlake, Thomas Cook, and more. Really worth a look and a great addition to your holiday reading list.
Interesting basis for generating some mystery short stories.
What a great collection of short stories. Famed editor, publisher, Mysterious Bookshop owner and book collection Otto Penzler commissions a short story each year, for Christmas, from a famous author. The only requirement is that at least part of the story has to involve his Bookshop. Due to popular demand, he has gathered the stories together for everyone to read. Just a quick look at the authors will tell you that you are in for a treat. There is Lawrence Block, Mary Higgens Clark, Rupert Holmes, Ed McBain, S.J. Rozan and Donald E. Westlake, plus 10 others.
Some of the stories I liked better than others but all are wonderful, if you love books and like short stories, give this book a read, you won't be sorry.
Christmas at the Mysterious Bookshop
17 mystery writers are given a task each Christmas to come up with a very short story surrounding one item-the bookstore in NYC.
I liked the stories and some I felt I didn't get the whole thing because they were so short. Going to get other works by the authors and read their longer works as they were interesting to listen to.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
A collection of Christmas stories by established authors, all commissioned by Otto Penzler, the proprietor of the Mysterious Bookshop in New York. Every year, Penzler would ask a mystery writer to write a short Christmas mystery, and include the Mysterious Bookshop in the story. He has gathered them into this fun collection, and I enjoyed reading them all!

Monocular head-mounted displays (HMDs) can be used with wearable computers. However, such displays can cause binocular rivalry, a phenomenon in which the left and right images alternate, and is unstable. Binocular rivalry, when using HMD, causes the image of the environment to alternate with the HMD image, or even the total loss of perception of the image from the HMD. Binocular rivalry can occur with displays of any resolution. In this study, we used optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) to reduce binocular rivalry. A special stimulus synchronized to the occurrence of binocular rivalry was used to trigger OKN. The subject was asked to observe a visual stimulus and press a trigger button whenever binocular rivalry occurred. This initiated the presentation of a specific spatial frequency stimulus that broke up the rivalry. Electro-oculogram (EOG) electrodes recorded the observer's possible loss of perception of the HMD image, helping to confirm the occurrence of binocular rivalry. Sixteen subjects participated in the experiments. The results indicate that synchronizing special stimuli to the viewers' responses in order to induce OKN can reduce binocular rivalry

AbstractPSR proposes to design, develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a novel hardware-in-the-loop technique for simulating the effects of the atmosphere on the performance of Navy optical systems. The simulator will use computer controlled, non-random optical elements that can readily interface in modular fashion with Navy sensors. It will permit assessing the combined effects of molecules, aerosols and turbulence on system performance. The simulator will be well calibrated, repeatable, and permit variation with the environmental parameters that drive the atmospheric components that induce the degradations, as well as operational parameters such as range and line of sight variations during an engagement. Both spatial amplitude (scintillation and fading) and spatial phase (distortion, wander) effects of turbulence will be simulated with the PSR programmable system.

Chris Kuper (born December 19, 1982) is a former American football offensive guard for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). The Broncos selected him in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football for the University of North Dakota. He is currently an offensive quality control coach for the Miami Dolphins.
High school career[edit]
Kuper played high school football at A. J. Dimond High School in Anchorage, where he helped the Lynx win the 2001 ASAA Large Schools State Championship.
College career[edit]
He played college football for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. He was a three-year starter, awarded all-conference and All American honors since his junior campaign.
Professional career[edit]
2006 NFL Draft[edit]
Projected to go undrafted by Sports Illustrated, who criticized his lack of "balance, body control and ability in space,"[1] Kuper was ranked as the No. 28 offensive guard available in the 2006 NFL Draft.[2] Kuper was eventually selected in the fifth round, 161st overall, by the Denver Broncos. He was the highest selected North Dakota lineman since Todd Thomas in 1981.
Denver Broncos[edit]
He was the Broncos starting right guard to begin the 2008 season.[3]
On June 4, 2010, the Broncos announced that they had signed Kuper to a five-year deal worth $25.5 million.[4] The new contract made him the second-highest-paid offensive lineman in Broncos' history, second only to former left tackle Matt Lepsis.
In 2010, the Denver Broncos announced that Kuper had been selected as co-captain of the Broncos offense, along with Kyle Orton and Daniel Graham.[5]
During the regular season finale in 2011 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Kuper suffered a gruesome broken ankle that ended his season. That season Chris Kuper made the Pro Bowl but withdrew to the injury and needed surgery.[6]
Kuper retired on March 11, 2014.[7]
Coaching career[edit]
On January 23rd, 2016, Kuper was hired by Miami Dolphins as offensive quality control coach. [8]

A common task in cytogenetic tests is the classification of human chromosomes. Successful separation between touching and overlapping chromosomes in a metaphase image is vital for correct classification. Current systems for automatic chromosome classification are mostly interactive and require human intervention for correct separation between touching and overlapping chromosomes. Since chromosomes are nonrigid objects, special separation methods are required to segregate them. Common methods for overlapping chromosomes separation between touching chromosomes tend to fail where ambiguity or incomplete information are involved, and so are unable to segregate overlapping chromosomes. The proposed approach treats the separation problem as an identification problem, and, in this way, manages to segregate overlapping chromosomes. This approach encompasses low-level knowledge about the objects and uses only extracted information, therefore, it is fast and does not depend on the existence of a separating path. The method described in this paper can be adopted for other applications, where separation between touching and overlapping nonrigid objects is required

I am a double major and I love it. I am a Communication major (specializing in PR) and a French major. I love the humanities department! I have had excellent communication teachers and professors thus far and have learned a lot of applicable information for a future job.
I have an internship at a small boutique. I do not get paid, but I have learned a lot about how to run my own small business. I have a lot of responsibility, I have my own key to the store, I merchandise the products, choose which products to sell, ring out customers, and run all the social media affiliated with the boutique. The only thing I dislike is when my intern supervisor does not take my suggestions about pricing or buying to heart. I know what college students want to buy and what they can afford, so I wish she would be more open to listening to my suggestions!
Campus Quality:
The main campus of Ohio State is incredible, I personally am attending the Lima, Ohio campus where every center is very satisfactory along with many amenities to help fulfill a students needs and desires coupled with sprawling grounds to walk and enjoy while in between classes. As an older college student my activities as far as entertainment have changed slightly, now I enjoy the performing arts available along with the student lounge area that is a comfortable and inviting place to relax.
Campus Quality:
Ohio State is a very big school and it opened me up to many opportunities. The facilities are great. The thing that sets OSU apart from other universities is that it is so diverse. OSU has so many great programs and I am glad to be a part of one.
Incredibly, students attending Ohio State University have more team spirit than any school I have ever attended. I am not athletic myself, but the rallying support from the students, faculty and the community makes an individual want to purchase a Buckeye T, paint your face and scream at every sporting event.
It could be stricter but I feel if students hearts are in the wrong place then no matter how many rules or regulations, they will always do wrong.
Drug Safety:
I haven't seen much drug usage, although certain housing you can clearly smell it. Concerning alcohol it's like cops have given up.
Off-Campus Dining:
I have a meal plan, but every now and then I like to eat out, and there is always something or somewhere new to try.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are plenty of off-campus housing options that are fairly priced. Most off-campus housing is close to campus and therefore, not an inconvenience.
The campus buses come frequently and travel all around campus. The COTA buses also go all around Columbus and are free to OSU students.
Drug Safety:
From my experience at OSU, there aren't n abundance of drugs on campus. Many people smoke cigarettes but that's all I've witnessed.
Health & Safety:
There are emails that go out every so often with safety concerns as well as updates on recent crimes to help students prepare. OSU is very well lit which also drives down crime. I do believe, however, that the columbus police department should be more worried with suspicious criminal activity in the outskirts of off campus housing than with the parties happening near campus as those are not the real danger. Also, there is a safety services department that acts as a taxi for students that do not want to go home alone at night.
The diversity on campus, especially during the summer months, is extremely noticable. Sometimes as a caucasian student, I believe I am the minority! It's wonderful having so many people from different parts of the world, or even from the same areas with different upbringings. Religously, my inner group of friends spans everything from Hindu to Buddhist to Orthodox and Agnostic, but everyone has respect for eachother's personal beliefs, as we do with sexual orientation. I also believe my group of friends could accurately describe THE Ohio State University as a whole
I would definatley choose OSU over and over again.
You can really do whatever you want as long as you are not bothering everyone.
Off-Campus Housing:
There always seems to be construction going on. I hate that but it is a beautiful campus. Alot of kids. alot of different places to live.
Party Scene:
there is so much to do, places to go. The campus is like a large city in itself. You can't be bored here.
Just had a great opportunity to attend a forensics field school...it was awesome. I learned a lot and made some great connections for the future.
I was only offered 1 scholarship opportunity from the university, which I did not win. Hence, I receive no money from the university at all.
Health & Safety:
I feel safe on OSU's campus, but I know for a fact: people steal bikes, people steal computers and unattended belongings. And there have been quite a few muggings on the streets around campus and where a lot of student housing is, despite claims of increased campus policing at night. I don't feel especially safe at night, due to the big city and the actuality of crime within it, but OSU tries, complete with little emergency stations all around campus.
It's not a perfect system and some people with unfortunate financial backgrounds can get lost in the shuffle, as in real life. However, setting up an appointment to meet with a financial aid adviser here can be extremely helpful, and if you plead your case, you could be awarded up to $3,000 if necessary to help you attend your next year. There are also a number of options to earn scholarships all around campus.
Greek Life:
Greek life can help you receive recognition from others in Greek life, but generally isn't very important at Ohio State by itself. Often they are simply just seen as party students, while there are some outliers who are known to be more productive members of society, and largely, Greek housing takes up a few streets off-campus.
Varsity sports are a great source of income for the University. However, being a club sport member it is unfortunate that we do not get any benefits form the university especially NO funds whatsoever. Some sports are only club and will never reach varsity status and it is unfair to those students who are members of those clubs.
When it is hot, it's hot. Same with the cold in the winter. Lots of time spent outside walking around campus. But there is a campus bus service for when it is raining or just too cold to walk.
Depending on your major, you may see a very diverse student body. In the engineering majors we see many different ethnicities and backgrounds.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
There is a reason the Buckeye Nation is considered to be so devoted; an overwhelming love for OSU is evident in student responses, and in the loyalty of alumni to their alma mater. Each person has his or her own reasons for loving the University, and there are quite a few of them. Some students feel that the academics are top-notch and have found exactly the programs they wanted; others lean toward the athletic success of the Buckeye teams, while some just feel that the friendships and bonds they have made are enough to make their tenure at OSU worthwhile. At any rate, everyone can agree that being a Buckeye creates a special bond between you and nearly 50,000 other students, which you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
Once you get past the sheer size of the University, it will really become a second home. After only a quarter of classes, you won't be able to cross the Oval without seeing someone you know. Ohio State is truly the smallest large university you will find. The people are known for their friendly attitudes, and alumni are scattered across the nation. If you choose to go to OSU, you're choosing a school with a name that's well known, both in the workplace and in the college community. Few students ever regret their time at Ohio State, and most consider their college experience to be among the best offered in the Big Ten and the country.

Division Champions!
Myrtle 58
Coldwater 55 (girls)
The Lady Hawks picked up the division 3-1A title Friday night, but not without a fight from the Lady Cougars, as Myrtle held on for the 58-55 win.
Myrtle jumped to a 20-6 lead in the first quarter, as Amber Williamson and Beth Goolsby combined for four three-pointers. Coldwater would go on an 11-3 run to close the first frame to pull within eight.
"I thought we came out on fire and had a chance to put the game away early on," Myrtle head coach Chris Greer said. "We had some turnovers and didn't play as tough after we took the lead."
The Lady Cougars had two runs in the second to inch their way back into the game, but two more three's by Goolsby in the frame would help to pace the Lady Hawks and keep them in the lead, 34-30, at the half.
Williamson opened the second half with a three for Myrtle, but the Lady Cougars toughened up on defense after that, forcing several turnovers and back court violations. Jerontay Clemons and Latina Futrell kept Coldwater in the game, as a basket by Clemons made it 47-42 going into the final frame.
After Aspriona Gilbert picked up her fourth foul at the beginning of the fourth, Futrell's free throws cut Myrtle's lead to 48-46, and moments later a steal and basket by Futrell would tie the game.
Myrtle would extend their lead back to four, 56-52, but Clemons would cut the lead to one with 33.8 seconds in the game.
Clemons had an opportunity to tie the game after being fouled by Halle Knowles, but was unable to connect on her free throw. Diana Suarez capped the win with her free throws, giving Myrtle the win over the top-seeded Lady Cougars.
Gilbert and Goolsby led the Lady Hawks with 17 each, while Williamson finished with 13.
Clemons led all scorers on the night with 28, while Futrell added 19.
Myrtle is now focusing on making it far into the playoffs, but Greer knows the road will be tough.
"When you get into the playoffs, you just work more on situations instead of practicing real hard," Greer explained. "The main focus is cutting down on mental mistakes. Tonight, we played a great game, if we had just cut down on our mental mistakes, we would have probably beaten a good team by even more points.
Greer knows the importance of this division title, and remembers a promise he made to this year's seniors when he first started coaching them.
"I coached them in the eighth grade, and we had a good team. We talked about how in five years, we were going to try to do big things, and we're doing it," Greer said. "Only three of them have hung around, and we've had an injury in Kiana Cox, and we're going to do our best to get her back, but I tell you, when you have seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth graders and juniors and seniors all stepping up together, we're a team. We're the Myrtle Lady Hawks, and I'm proud to coach them."
Myrtle 83
Wheeler 51 (Monday)
The Lady Hawks will host this weekend's 1A North Half Tournamment after defeating Wheeler 83-51 Monday night.
Beth Goolsby led the way with 26 points, followed by Aspriona Gilbert with 15 and Kesho Montgomery with 12.
Myrtle will be back in action on Thursday.
New Albany 64
Center Hill 40 (girls)
The road to redemption for the Lady Bulldogs ended Friday night, as they defeated Center Hill 64-40 to capture the Division 1-4A title at Itawamba Community College.
Two of the three loses for New Albany came at the hands of division foes, and after defeating Itawamba AHS Wednesday night, Center Hill was the remaining team the Lady 'Dawgs looked to defeat.
"The Itawamba game mattered the most to the girls," NAHS head coach John Stroud said. "They had beaten us, then Center Hill got us in the final game of the regular season at home, but the Itawamba game was huge because we knew if we lost, we would be on the road for the first round of the playoffs, so after beating them, we focused on Center Hill, and it was great to bounce back and defeat them."
After taking the 24-19 lead at the half, New Albany came out on fire in the second, outscoring Center Hill 23-10 in the third frame to take the comfortable lead and move on for the win.
"We wanted this win badly," Stroud said. "We played very well in the second half and we looked like the team we've had all season. We were clicking in all areas, and we're proud that we're now division champs, and we hope this carries over into the playoffs."
The story for the Lady Bulldogs all season has been their success with such a young team. Stroud has watched over the course of the season just how much his team has grown.
"We're young, but we're talented," Stroud explained. "We play very well together on any given night. You can tell now that the sophomores are looking more experienced and older, and our eighth grader is looking like a high school player. We have a lot to look forward to in the future, but right now we're staying focused on the present and hope to continue the success."
Taking care of the ball and causing less turnovers is Stroud's goal for his young squad going into the playoffs.
"We know that at this point it's a lose one and go home, and that's what I've been telling the girls. We need to reduce turnovers and take care of the ball. That's our big issue and that's what we're looking to improve on."
New Albany 50 Callaway 48 (Monday)
The Lady 'Dawgs struggled throughout the game, but Kebrina Lucas' two free throws with four seconds remaining gave New Albany the 50-48 win Monday night to advance the Lady Bulldogs into the next round of the playoffs.
Head Coach John Stroud wanted his team to work on eliminating turnovers in the playoffs, but his squad struggled on the night, as they had nine alone in the first quarter.
Falling behind 40-34 heading into the fourth, Lucas' basket tied the game at 44, and Jazmine Spears gave the Lady 'Dawgs the lead with 2:12 remaining in the game.
After Callaway hit a basket to tie the game at 48, Lucas was fouled with seconds remaining, and her shots advance New Albany to play Oxford Thursday afternoon.
Spears led New Albany with 19, followed by Kebrina Lucas with 14 and Tierra Lucas with 10.
New Albany's match-up versus Oxford will be at 4 p.m. Thursday.

A move to forbid high-ranking Chinese military officials from attending banquets and other events where alcoholic beverages are served has left many Chinese investors with a hangover.
According to Xinhua, the nation's official news agency, one Chinese alcohol producer, Kweichow Moutai, lost $2 billion in value the day the ban was announced as its stock plummeted 5.5 percent.
The regulations were announced December 21 by the Central Military Commission (CMC). In addition to alcohol, they set limitations on the use of welcome banners, red carpets, floral arrangements, live performances and souvenirs, among others.
The CMC is chaired by new Communist Party chief Xi Jinping, who took over the party and the commission last month. He has pledged to fight corruption and is slated to become China's president in March.
The new regulations also extend to commission officials. Reports say military commission officials are required to "discipline their spouses, children and subordinates and make sure they do not take bribes."
According to Xinhua, Chinese internet users are praising the ban, but some are calling for it to be extended to all government officials.
A former spokesman for the Ministry of Education took to Sina Weibo, a popular microblogging site, to call for limiting liquor advertising in television, especially during popular national festivals.

Fred Gall: Professional skateboarder; guardian angel.
Words: Robert Brink
Photo & Video: Dave Smith
ESPN.com June 2012.
"When I was a kid my uncle Johnny was a fireman," says Habitat pro and X Games Real Street 2012 contender, Fred Gall. "He used to take me to the firehouse and I wanted to be a fireman too. I dunno why. I have an instinct to … well, I guess I just don't wanna see people die or get hurt."
It was approximately 3 AM on February 28 when Fred saw a building across the street from his hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia engulfed in flames when he decided to check it out.
"I was out there filming for my Real Street part with Dave Smith and Andrew Patillo," Gall explains. "I wanted to get some crazy footage that no one else is gonna have—to have my part be different. So we skate down the street and it turns out to be a monastery. And this is a serious fire—a blazing inferno.
"At first, we had our digital cameras, like, 'Film me doing a no comply in front of this fire.' Kinda laughing about it. Then I realized that on the second and third floors there were monks trapped on the balcony and no one was doing anything about it—people were just staring.'
"Something about Freddy," says longtime friend Dave Smith, "is that he's seriously like an angel cast to Earth to guard the misfortunate. Somehow or another, these people always tend to be within Freddy's vision. He could be at his worst and then into his best in a matter of seconds. At the Cambodian airport, a lady forgot her passport at the counter and he ran full steam through the airport to return it."
"So I scaled the side of the building next to the burning one," explains Gall. "And up top there are these long bamboo sticks that just happened to be the right length, so I made a bridge. The monks were scared to cross because it was so ghetto-rigged. Basically, you took two steps on the bamboo and someone would grab your hand and pull you in. But I got two monks down then went inside and shit is blowing up, it's hot as hell and monks are just standing in the pitch black. I don't know if it was for their religion or what. One was just throwing buckets of water on the flames but it wasn't doing shit."
"We tried to make it a little more serious to them," says Smith, "Like, 'Hey you gotta, get out of here.' It seemed like they didn't know what to do or where to go. Maybe they couldn't see or were in shock but no one seemed scared about what was going on but the potential for disaster was right in their face."
"I found a bucket and I put it on my head because shit was falling all over the place," Gall continues, "and I'm screaming, 'Where's the women and children?' But there are no women and children because it's a monk monastery [laughing]. I was just in hero mode— just trying to save lives, dude. And Dave had made his way up and he's like, 'we gotta get outta here!'
"I walked into the stairway and it was engulfed in embers and smoke," says Smith. "The only way to see was with the flash on my camera. That's when I noticed all the monks just standing around, not knowing where to go because they couldn't see anything."
"I got down before Freddy," Smith continues, "and I looked up and he's crossing the bridge he made and helping three or four monks over to the safer building."
"So after we make it down," Gall continues, "the fire department shows up, puts out the fire and straight-up leaves. The fire engine number was 666. Not even kidding. Then I just went back to the hotel and had a beer. Like, 'Wow that was fucking crazy.'"
"He gets pretty emotional after stuff like that," explains Smith. "We got back to the hotel and he was in tears. He gets emotionally involved because he really cares."
"Halfway back to the hotel," says Smith, "Fred realized that he didn't have his board. We went back to get it and sure enough this monk was standing there with it waiting for Fred. They all thanked him dearly. They were very honored that an American went for it like that."
Throughout the years, Fred has been notorious for a lifestyle some might consider "sinful" or "wrong" or whatever the word might be. I asked him if he ever considered that his good karma for the times he has saved lives (yes there are many) balances out the bad karma that might send him straight to hell one day.
"I've definitely thought like that," Gall replies, "but I would say I've definitely done more good than bad. Some people don't believe in karma but I believe if you help someone, good things will come to you. And I'm really going for this Real Street thing—I wanna win something. I tried really hard. I busted my ass today getting footage. There are gnarly dudes in this contest but the way we're going to edit it, I think we have a chance. I hope people are stoked."

Contenders: Kevin Terpening
Words: Robert Brink
The Skateboard Mag, May 2010
In the beginning of Markus Wyndham's segment in H-Street's Hokus Pokus, a narrator says, "This is Markus. You do not know him now, but you will someday." At which point Markus proceeds to pop shuv-it 5-0 grind down a small rail. That was 1989.
Today, in 2010, there's not a lot to say about Kevin Terpening. Not due to lack of talent or personality, but simply because he's at that point in his skateboarding career where people are just gonna have to see for themselves. He's the sleeper. The quiet, yet strangely quirky and mysterious fellow who, when all is said and done and he's gone on his way, you think, "Damn, Kevin is fucking rad! People are gonna love this dude!"
This is K-Terps. You do not know him now, but you will someday …
I hear there's some life drama going on?
Yea. I woke up and my old roommate called yelling at me. I didn't pay the bills and his power and water got shut off. We had to scrounge some money up, so I'm kind of stressing.
At least you don't live there anymore.
I feel bad for them because it's my fault. I knew it was going to happen. I'm just an idiot.
Have you ever checked your credit score?
Fuck no! It would be fucked because I had a credit card once and a taxi driver stole it. He went and spent $2000 on it.
Do you have a checking account?
Yeah, but there's no money in it because it's all going to the $1,200 DWP bill. I went in all sad like, "I only have half the money. How about I just pay you half." Trying to negotiate but they weren't having it, so I told 'em I'd be back soon.
Was this the same house where you had no toilet paper and you used the paper from your éS shoes?
Yeah. There was always a bunch of empty shoeboxes lying around, you know? We ran out of toilet paper and started using that shit, but then our toilet got clogged a bunch of times.
Is the good paper the piece that's wrapped around the shoe or the part that's crumpled inside the shoe?
The better part is what's inside the shoes.
Oh. It's softer?
Yeah, it doesn't hurt. You know the other shit is like, wax paper. It's all fucked up. You don't want to try to wipe your ass with it. It depends on the shoe, though. Sometimes they have actual paper and sometimes it's like tissue paper.
Like cheap toilet paper versus the expensive kind?
Exactly. It's like the toilet paper in the stall in the gas station or at your high school.
You live in Scuba's garage now?
Yeah. It's pretty tight. We put up drywall and insulated the walls and I got a whole setup in there now. It's pretty legit. I mean, it's still in a garage, but it's pretty tight.
Do you still owe him rent money?
It sucks. I just owe him one month right now and then maybe like, some bills. But I don't have any money right now.
Have you tried to barter with him?
Like, "I'll just mow the yard or plant some fucking flowers, you know, be the pool boy and shit." We were talking about that but then it all just fell apart. Now I have to pay a bunch of rent money. It's fucked up.
Ok pool boy … are you still working at Huf?
Yeah. I work there a few days a week. Just sit there and hang out with my friends.
Who are you riding for?
Alien Workshop flow. éS flow. Shit, I feel like I'm at Tampa Am right now. Val Surf skate shop in North Hollywood and Spitfire.
How did you get hooked up with Alien? Obviously being from Ohio …
When I was living there, my friend Scott got stuff from them and we skated together all the time. We made a video and then somehow they started hooking me up. I was psyched because in Ohio that's a really big deal. It's pretty sick to get hooked up from a company like Alien that you actually like.
Tell me about the Jet Black Crayon music video you're in. I love it.
Me and Greg Hunt did it. Tommy Guerrero's band had a new album come out and he picked 10 or so people all over the world to make a video for one of the songs. You could do whatever you wanted. I called off work for a few days and Greg would pick me up super early and we'd just go around skating shit on that thing. It was super fun and turned out pretty cool.
You can't tell it's a new video at all.
Yeah. It looks like it could've been an actual VHS from back in the day. We watched old videos and got ideas from them. Greg definitely knew what he was doing.
Does anyone still call you Grandpa Terps?
There were people who called me that?
Yeah. It's your nickname.
Oh. I guess I've been called that. I used to be crabby but I'm not that bad anymore.
And you like sitting on stoops doing nothing?
Stoop Life! The old house we lived in had a nice little porch that we called "the stoop." We would just sit there and drink beers all day so it kind of turned into the Stoop Life. There's something about it … I'm backing it.
Do you have any awesome final statements to make?
Yeah. I just want everyone to stop waxing the fucking ledges so much. Because today at Marsh Park, straight out of the car, I tried to do a manual trick on the top of the box and the whole entire top was waxed and I ate shit. My fucking hip is all fucked up now because I tried to do a manual. Whatever.
And now you don't even have a stoop to sit on with your broken hip.
I know. What the fuck? But I do have power and water so I'm psyched.

The Power Balance saga continues. As I read this new TMZ article and fondly look back on the days of Already Been Done— in particular, shooting Dave Carnie ideas for articles that he would either tell me sucked or accept and execute with genius every time—I couldn't help but also remember how we couldn't get a hold of Sheckler for a quote or two, despite multiple efforts, for an article Dave was working on.
I wanted to talk to Ryan about Power Balance, but he did not respond to my requests for an interview. According to an etnies source, Ryan was a little worried about how he would be portrayed in this article and that it might endanger his relationship with his sponsor.
- Dave Carnie
Possibly more relevant now than ever, here's "Power Balance Bracelets," by Dave Carnie.

(Almost) Everyone Loves Lowry
Words: Robert Brink
SBC, Fall 2011
"This is probably so boring," says Kevin Lowry, halfway through our interview.
"Well, the Internet likes you and we're having fun," I say encouragingly, "so nothing else really matters does it?"
"True I guess, " he replies.
Prior to our phone call, all I knew about Kevin was that he's a 23-year-old Calgary resident and a skateboarder. Existing interviews and weeks of reaching out to his friends and teammates produced very little intel, so I resorted to the world's most reliable source of factual information (insert facetiousness here)—the messageboards.
And they didn't let me down one bit.
Dozens and dozens of threads with mentions of Kevin and some devoted entirely to him. Oddest of all—no one really talked shit on him. Is that even possible?
When your skateboarding is as relatable as Kevin's … sure it is.
Cruising the streets and hitting everything along the way, making use of your surroundings, regardless of how crappy or obscure they may be (à la Oyola, Puleo, Barley, Busenitz, Fowler, Gonz and so on) is understandable and attainable for the average skateboarder, who, although most likely respectful of the ability of say, Danny Way, Torey Pudwill, Figgy or Daewon Song, has trouble processing their levels of gnar.
As admirable and impressive as they are, quadruple ledge combos, manual 900s, big five blocks, Mega Ramps and 21-stair rails aren't on most skaters' daily agendas.
Kevin Lowry is a normal kid, just like you. He lives in the middle of nowhere, just like you. He works a regular job, just like you. He might never be a big time pro driving a Benz to a private indoor TF in Southern California, just like you. He struggles with simple things, like trying to quit smoking, just like you. He isn't jumping down El Toro, just like you aren't. And because he's just like you, well … that's exactly why you like him.
"Kevin uses his mind with his skating," says his friend Russ Milligan. "He's not trying to go to the new ledge in town and brainstorm what trick is left to do on it. He has a good eye for spots, a good trick selection and he skates really fast. That's what makes anything he comes out with so fresh."
"I like to stay close to the ground," Kevin says, only half joking. "I'm trying to take after Paul Shier. I still wanna be skating when I'm 36.
"I just always liked skating in back alleys and stuff," he continues. "I've never seen someone backside flip a 14 in Cali—so that never really computed with me. I never really thought I would ever do or try that. Watching Torey Pudwill's new Big Bang part, for example, doesn't compute with me because I'd never try a kickflip back tail 360 flip out. I can't even do frontside bigspins. I can barely switch heel. Fuck it.
"But watching something like Penal Code and realizing, 'Oh, he 50-50'd the curb … ' it makes sense to me. It's not out of my realm. It's more down-to-earth. You don't have to go to those spots in the videos to 50-50 the curb; you can just skate like that wherever you want.
"What I find with skating," Kevin continues, "is that if you just do what feels good it's usually pretty spot on. There's no way a fucking front foot flip feels good. You know … where you donkey kick the board? There's just no way that feels nice, so why would you do it?"
But sometimes a trick feels a little too good. We've all been there. A while back Kevin was there too. He went through a pretty intense back smith phase. In fact, he had so many photos back smiths come out, that he performed a self-intervention.
"I banned myself from that trick and now I can barely land one anymore," Kevin laments.
"I used to skate for éS and my team manager would bug me about it like, 'Another back smith, eh?' And I'd be like, 'Fuck.'
"It's fucked because I'd go skating with a photographer and they'd always be like, 'you should back smith it.' Then other times I'd get coaxed into doing tricks that I didn't wanna do … not because I don't like the trick but because I just had a back smith photo three months ago and I need to do something different."
But no one else seems to be complaining. Hell, 10 years from now, Kevin might be one of those people we can watch back smith all day long. Kinda like a Reynolds frontside flip, a Kalis tre flip or a Malto front crook.
Lowry's "Internet darling" status primarily consists of anonymous skate rats gushing over his video parts, pronouncing him "Calgary's best skateboarder" or bitching about the fact that Kevin's yet to be officially added to the Blueprint roster—many seemingly outraged that Tilt Mode's Jon Nguyen was granted a slot first. This sort of backing might be flattering for many, the way a young schoolgirl might secretly enjoy seeing two boys fight over her, but not so much for Kevin.
"That is so awkward," Kevin admits. "It's like, 'Man, Jon's welcome ad and video come out and people are bringing me up in the comments.'
"I've never met Jon but Nestor [Judkins] and all those dudes tell me he's the best and I'm sure he is. But it's such a 'fuck you' to him.
"I've been skating for Blueprint for four years. I don't know how long he's been on there, maybe a year or something, but the guy's the fucking best. He's out there in Cali skating with Shier all the time and he's fucking way better than me. I'm out of sight, out of mind. I'm some dude in Canadian videos that no one sees. He's got sick full parts in Tilt Mode. People know who he is and that matters these days. I'm nothing but psyched for him. He's fucking dope."
Obviously Kevin's humble tendencies are part of his charm, but for the people who don't know him—why this devotion? Where does all the Lowry love come from?
"I'm paying 'em all off," Kevin laughs. "I'm giving up blowies.
"No, honestly, I don't know. When I see my name pop up on the Internet, I cringe. I'm just waiting to read, 'This guy has a small dick and he's the biggest asshole and his push sucks and he can't skate switch and this and this … '
"Like, who are these Internet bandits? I've seen a few cool things on there but most of the shit is retarded. Like, 'what's your favorite truck?' Why do people even post this shit?
"Give it a couple months and I'll do something wrong," Kevin foreshadows. "'Yeah, we can no longer forgive Kevin for that for that fucking neon green t-shirt he's wearing in line number four.'"
As cliché as it sounds, and as you may have noticed from the aforementioned back smith intervention and the Jon Nguyen incident, Kevin's definitely his own worst critic and "constantly making mistakes."
"I'm blowing it a lot," Kevin admits. "You name it, man. I quit smoking cigarettes for two years and recently went to Portugal and started again. What the hell was I thinking? I quit drinking and smoking weed eight years ago because I was pretty bad when I was young—now I'm completely clean, so I don't know why I would ever start smoking again."
"Pretty bad" might be an understatement. Kevin took a liking to marijuana at age eight and began selling it at 10.
"I was drinking, smoking a ton of weed, doing mushrooms and skating all the time. I couldn't afford boards or anything so I would sell weed to buy boards. But pretty soon I was skating less and less, then got arrested with weed on me a few times."
Then, at age 15, Kevin got arrested again, for the last time. He had a half-pound of weed and three grand in cash on him when it happened. Because of his prior offenses, the court gave him the option for rehab, jail or a foster home.
"The thing is," Kevin explains, "my parents never smoked weed, so they had no idea what the hell was going on, other than that they kept finding tons of weed and tons of cash. I was like, 'Well, I'll go to rehab because I'll get there, show everyone that I'm clean, get out, be inconspicuous, still smoke weed and go on with my life.'
"But once I was in rehab I realized that there's more to life than smoking and selling weed and harming people and my family. So I got sober. Withdrawals were pretty shitty. Not being able to see my family for weeks and not being able to skate was shitty. Being monitored day and night was shitty. I was in there for 10 months and when I got out I was so happy to be clean. Everything in my day was so simple now. I couldn't even kickflip but I had nothing to do with my time, so that's when I really started skating.
And at age 16, Kevin moved to Calgary and started skating non-stop.
Fast-forward eight years and Calgary is still home. But is that the most strategic move for a fledgling skateboarding career? Especially when the bulk of the industry is in Southern California and you ride for a British board brand?
"Dude, I have a new part coming out with them online and I don't know anything about it," Kevin says, " I don't know when it's coming out, if it's done … and I know it's not a personal thing. Shier lives in LA and he's so busy. But yeah, I would say my biggest fear is just not being present with the Blueprint dudes. I just spent five weeks in England with them, and being there, you feel a lot more a part of everything. If I could be am for Blueprint, get a check, skate and go on trips, I would be ecstatic. I don't have any other passions in life and I've poured a lot into skateboarding. Life's pretty short, so for me to just throw in the towel and not even try to go further is kind of silly. I'm not out there trying to make a mil. I know Nick [Jensen] and all those Blueprint dudes and they're not rich. They don't make that much money off Blueprint or even Lakai. They're not in it for the money. That's not why they started skating and I like that. I picture myself working a job come age 35 or whatever anyway. I know that. I'm not stupid."
Kevin currently works at his local skate shop, The Source. Luckily, they allow him to come and go when he needs to skate and travel with his sponsors, a blessing compared to a past janitorial position he held or hunting for oil in swamps with crackheads …
"The worst job I ever had though," Kevin explains, "was working at Seismic. It's a company that finds oil in the ground. You put studs in the ground and carry huge cables through swamps and stuff. Then you shoot electricity into the ground through the cables to find the oil. The money is okay but you live in a tent or a hotel. You never get to leave, you work 12-hour days and all the guys out there are just like, 'When I get paid, I'm gonna buy so much crack.' They're high-class crackheads that work their ass off for two weeks, make two grand and then spend it all on crack.
"There were times I was skating in downtown Calgary and a crackhead would come up to me like, "What's up? I know you! We work together!"
"And I'm like, 'Who the fuck … Oh my god, you look so shitty.'"
"I only held that job for a couple weeks until I realized I'm way to weak to carry cables all day. I didn't have that 'crack strength.'"
"Kevin is a good kid," says George Cutright, Adidas team manager. "I've only been on one trip with him but he was the most responsible of the whole crew—barely drinking, going to bed at a reasonable hour and killing every spot. He's got tons of pop."
So how does a Canadian kid in the prairies of Calgary fall into the arms of a British company like Blueprint anyway?
"I went to London on a skate trip and met Tuukka Korhonen, Nick Jensen and Danny Brady," says Kevin. "I was like, 'Damn, these dudes are sick and this company is sick!'
"So I was starting to get halfway decent at skating and my friend was like, 'Yeah that distributor just got Blueprint. You should try and get on there through them.'
"And I was like, 'I don't think I'm good enough to get free boards.'
"He was like, 'No, seriously, go for it.' So I did and couple months later I got some boards from the distributor and I just ran with it. It was so fucked up too because I was trying to contact Blueprint to be like, 'Yo, thank you for the boards' and stuff like that but the guy at the distributor was like, 'We don't have an email address for them ... blah, blah, blah.'
"So I just emailed firstname.lastname@example.com and was like, 'Look, what's up? I just wanna say hello and thanks for the boards.' And I finally got a reply, which was cool. Then I went to England with a photographer from SBC and we did a Blueprint article for the mag. I stayed in touch with them all, went to Spain a couple times and skated with Chewy Cannon, who rode for them at the time, a lot.
Then Blueprint went out of business. I didn't know Shier at the time so I didn't really talk to him or anyone about it, And then one day I got an email from him like, 'Hey what's up? We're still gonna do Blueprint. Would you still be into it?'
"Everyone on the team is so nice. I'm just so psyched that I'm even affiliated with them. Lost and Found has always been my favorite video of all time. I've met a lot of pros and I just find that with these dudes, hanging out and skating is so natural. It's not like you're in a van and they're all wearing headphones and stuff—pretending to be friends because they have to be. It is a business at the end of the day but it is real proper and all those guys hang out all the time—not because they can all kickflip really well, but because they're actually friends. I think that's real important and I relate to them really well."
Ironically, despite all the love Kevin gets in skateboardland, many people outside our bubble who cross paths with him don't immediately share the sentiment.
"One time, a few years ago," says friend Jeff Thorburn, "a group of us, including Kevin, went out to skate the Warped Tour ramp in Calgary. Somewhere near the entrance, we had a bit of a run-in with security. Kevin hadn't said anything, but it turns out the guard just caught his eye and said to him, 'What the fuck is that look all about?'
"I have huge eyebrows and my eyes are always half closed," explains Kevin, "so I guess everyone always thinks that I'm really pissed off. And I'm totally not. When I was a bit younger I remember hanging out with Jeff's friend Kelsey one day and we were talking about the worst stuff. I'm pretty opinionated so I guess I was hating a lot—I was on my period that day. And Kelsey, who I didn't really know back then but I know now, was telling Jeff, 'Who's your friend that doesn't like anything? I bumped into him and he looked all pissed off. He doesn't like mustard, doesn't like frontside flips, doesn't like anything …'"
"Another funny incident, Kevin continues, was a while back when I got a job with my ex-girlfriend and I had just shaved my head. For the first few days no one there would talk to me and I had no idea why. She later told me that everyone was scared of me and thought I was about to snap. I guess I just looked mad."
I dunno what it is. I'm just sitting there with my coffee and doing my thing. I'm really calm. I don't really like anyone to bother me so I'm so confused at how I can come off like that. If I don't have anything to say, I don't talk, but I guess that makes a lot of people think you are mad.
"You have angry eyebrows," I reply.
"Yeah," Kevin says. "You should definitely put something about that in the interview. It'll make it a little less boring."

Joe Brook By Joe Brook and éS Footwear
Words: Robert Brink
SBC, Fall, 2011
To celebrate the release of the éS / Joe Brook Square 2 colorway, a new photo book, showcasing the many years of éS and Brook's friendship and work together, has been pressed.
There's not a lot to say that Mark Whiteley didn't handle in his introduction to the book, however, something needs to coax you to actually go get it so you can read that Whiteley intro, so here it goes:
Limited in quantity, but certainly worth the quest to acquire, "Joe Brook" is a collection of photos that, almost more than any other collection of skateboarding photos to date, accurately represents life on the road as part of a skateboard trip and life on the streets as a skateboarder—raw, unpolished, grimy, frustrating, beautiful, scary, bewildering, liberating and fun.
If you've been there, then you know. One look at any of these photos brings you right back. Whether it's a dead bird similar to one you've ollied over while cursing the streets, or the random pedestrians who ask to try your board or inquire about how high you can ollie.
It could be a sideline view of a trick about to be landed, the collaborative tour van stench of cigarettes, beer, weed, musty carpet, street grime, sweat, dudes and body odor or the over-it-ness of your homie who's sitting on the ground having a smoke next to his focused board after he didn't get his trick. Regardless of the visual, Brook's images effortlessly and unpretentiously capture the essence of it all.
Color, black and white. Portraits, action. Nature, city. Bangers, dorkin'. Life, death. Rain, shine. War, peace. Shoes, Joe Brook, skateboarding. Yeah, that's what this book is all about—skateboarding.
